Topic: When is a nibble not a nibble? (Read 3349 times)

I've just had a Trinket Tray delivered and it has a 2 cm (3/4") chip which knocks off 2 of the saw teeth from the top edge of the tray. It was described in the sale listing as a nibble, I have contacted the buyer to say his description was inaccurate and he maintains it is a nibble and I shouldn't complain because it is 80 years (his date) old!

So my question is....how big is a nibble and at what point does it become a chip?

I'd have thought a nibble was something small enough not to make much of a visual difference to an appearance or be especially noticeable - certainly no more than a half-centimeter, and a chip is something that is larger and more clearly visible.

Then we have fleabites, which I assume are those tiny pinhead type of bits of damage... not sure if this helps at all Jayne.

Was it an eBay sale? If so, can you not do a Not as Described Report for it?
